Numero Dos

So, if you're wondering why I haven't been posting much... it's because I'm preggo again. It's been hard trying to think of other things to write about without revealing the big news. So, finally, there it is.

We are excited here, but at the same time scared. Excited to have another little one around and the opportunity to see ESK as big sister. But scared as heck as to how it will affect our day-to-day lives. As a friend and I discussed, with two little rugrats around, SK and I will have to transition from zone defense to man-to-man. Ack. On top of that, ESK's schedule is really becoming regular, her eating has gotten better, and naps and bedtime are a breeze. It makes me wonder what we're doing to ourselves...

Anyway, besides those thoughts bouncing around in my head, I am doing pretty well, although not as well as my first pregnancy. I am pretty much over my nausea, but still tire easily and sometimes take a mid-day nap with ESK these days. I had no morning sickness and minimal tiredness with ESK, so these changes to my body caught me off guard. In fact, it is making me feel old. Last Sunday, I tried to pick up ESK along with my diaper bag and some books and my back went into spasms. I had to hobble over to a bench and sit down. Old, old, old.

I think the back spasms indicate "out-of-shape-ness" as opposed to "old old old." :D
Thanks for finally spilling the beans. I was finding it difficult to look people in the eye and say that you were doing well when they asked.
And, don't worry, the transition will be a breeze... especially if hubby understands the man to man defense strategy.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! sooo exciting, but i can totally understand your fear also. no, i'm not at all, but i think about how nice things are becoming now. however, you are giving ESK the most wonderful gift of all this way. :)
as for your spasms, gotta give it to siblings to tell it like it is, eh? it reminds me of my brother jiggling my nonexistent biceps once and calling them "tofu." ;)
hope you'll feel better soon~ so, when do we get to meet numero dos?
